LAIDLEY

WEDNESDAY 2 - THURSDAY 3.08.2017: Smartphone 7: "Let's take advantage of the Telstra Thursday Free Movie offer, never receive much else, now that we have the Samsung phone might as well try it." First attempt was to view it through the Smartphone - painful. "Let's connect it to the computer - larger screen, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SOUND?" Turned up every volume function that could be found on both appliances, which managed to produce a mumbled dialogue. Brainwave - plug the Smartphone headset into the computer, downside, two people one headset! "Okay, you have one ear piece and I'll have the other." We did have to sit a LITTLE closer to the screen given the headset length and there were many "IF YOU ARE GOING TO MOVE YOU H-A-V-E TO LET ME KNOW", statements, but we did manage to watch the movie, albeit feeling as though you were a Siamese twin. Yes, we will await further instructions from our friend John on this resolution!

Returned to Laidley and visited the Laidley Pioneer Village. Established in 1972, the Village was the first such site in QLD and as a result of the vision and hard work of the volunteers has developed into the excellent complex it is today. There were so many pieces that have been donated, if anything too many. Due to a lack of display areas the invaluable pieces were not exhibited as well as they could have been. Petrol prices haven't changed much - ha!
